I just love this plant, Mystic, though it has to be treated as an annual here. I'm lucky to get blooms before fall, but the scented leaves and attractive foliage is worth it anyway!
Weez to tell they truth I tried to bring it in last year and even tried to start some cuttings and lost it so I got another one this year. I have started some cutting's hopefully they will get rooted to try to keep indoors this winter. How do you keep it weez? Just thinking wonder if it could be brought in to a cool place and let go dormant?
I'm in a Zone 3 area, so I can't just cover it and hope for the best, I'm afraid, although I've only tried it once. The best luck I've had with wintering it over was to take it down into my cool basement and keep it under fluorescent lights. In the spring, I would begin rooting slips.
However, I've quit wintering plants over that way because they were bringing in aphids that attacked the seedlings I start down there every year. I take my pelagoniums (geraniums) over to a friends boiler shed for the winter now. I don't know if one could winter the sage over like geraniums, but I might give that a try.
See shoe I told ya you need to grow it. lol Weez that pic was taken Oct 25th. We have had 2 light frost that didn't hurt anything and had one cold spell that got down to 35 degrees that was when I was busting my but digging things up to bring in but didn't seem to hurt anything. As a matter of fact my garden looks pretty good right now with the cooler temps and at long last some rains. It's a shame for it to get so pretty now just in time for cold weather.
Doesn't it always seem that way. Just about the time you know the season is over, the plants seem to put out one more spectacular show. Maybe plants are just little teases!
